2015 BMW 428i xDrive - Car and Driver (blog)
But the subject of this test is the 428i xDrive, the entry-level version with all-wheel drive. even with an extra 150 or so pounds of xDrive gear, the 428i banged off a solid 5. 5-second zero-to-60-mph time, only a few tenths behind the last rear-drive 435i we tested. And EPA city/highway ratings of 22/33 mpg make it the thrifty choice among AWD 4-series coupes, 2- to 3-mpg less thirsty than the 435i’s turbo six. We’ve had good things to say about the 4-series in general and this four-cylinder turbo in recent tests of the rear-drive 428i , the 428i Gran Coupe , and the 328i xDrive Sport Wagon. Is the 428i xDrive a luxury coupe or a performance coupe. But the all-season Pirelli Cinturato P7s that would otherwise not seem out of place on an all-wheel-drive car don’t help here. The 428i xDrive needed 177 feet to stop from 70 mph, only a foot less than that required by a recently tested, all-season-shod Toyota Camry XSE. The brakes suffered un-BMW-like moderate fade, too. As a luxury coupe, the otherwise-quiet four-cylinder AWD car has some noise and vibration issues. Source: www.caranddriver.com
